Thanks to religion we still have to worry about bronze age solutions to these kinds of things. There's also a lot of evidence that she was wrongly convicted. I should point out that I don't think that bombing Iran is a solution to this kind of problem. The hallowed out shell that we would leave would make it easier for the usual Fundamentalist nutjobs to rise and conquer.Before we bombed that country into oblivion the country that treated women the best in that region was Iraq, where women had the magic right to drive and receive an education without acid being thrown in their faces. Now its run by the usual religious wackos. Afterall, the Holy Books of the Big Three were pretty much engineered for tribal warfare and killing people that don't agree with you. That's not a good recipe in a world where too many people have too many nuclear weapons.
Here's the word from Pharyngula:

Currently there are only 427 signatures on this site. I am sure there are other Petitions out there. I think making people aware is the most important thing. That and voicing our condemnation of this sentence.
This woman needs to be released.
